Privacy Policy
Effective date: 16 July 2026 · Last updated: 4 October 2026
Doppio is operated by Sam Bessey in Victoria, Australia. This policy covers our websites, Google Slides add-on, Chrome extension, ChatGPT integration, presenter and participant applications, and support services.
What we collect and why
- Account information: your email, account identifiers, sign-in information and plan details, to authenticate you, manage access and provide support.
- Presentation content: presentation and slide identifiers, titles, placement information, polls, takeaways, settings, collaborators and results, to create, save and run interactive presentations.
- Participation information: votes, session activity, device identifiers and technical information, to deliver results, prevent duplicate votes and keep sessions working. Participants generally do not need to provide a name or email. We do not use their IP addresses to identify them to presenters.
- Usage and diagnostic information: feature activity, browser and device details, IP addresses, request timing and errors, to maintain security, troubleshoot problems and improve Doppio.
- Support information: contact details, messages and attachments you provide when asking for help.
We use information to provide and secure Doppio, support users, improve its functionality, enforce service limits and meet legal obligations. Where a legal basis is required, we rely on performance of our contract, legitimate interests in operating a secure service, consent where requested, or legal obligations.
Google Slides and Chrome extension
Doppio accesses presentation information needed to create and display your interactive content. The Slides add-on operates on the presentation in which you use it. The ChatGPT add-to-deck flow accesses files you select or have authorised for Doppio, rather than all of your Google Drive.
The Chrome extension processes slide activity and placement information on Google Slides. It does not collect unrelated browsing history or content from unrelated pages.
Doppio does not sell personal information, use Google user data for personalised advertising, disclose it to data brokers, or use it to train general-purpose AI models. Personnel may access Google user data only with your permission, for necessary security or abuse investigations, as required by law, or in aggregated and anonymised form as permitted by Google's policies.
Doppio's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Doppio Live Polls in ChatGPT
ChatGPT sends Doppio the drafted poll questions, answer options, chart settings and suggested slide placements needed to create previews. These may include text from content you shared with ChatGPT. Doppio does not request your full conversation or uploaded deck files. Previews require no Google sign-in.
When you choose Add to my deck, you sign in with Google, select a presentation and confirm placement. The page reads slide text in your browser to help match placements, and sends your account identity, presentation identifiers and title, and poll content to Doppio to save and insert your polls. It does not upload the entire deck to Doppio. Previews and insertion status, including the presentation name and slide numbers, are returned to ChatGPT. We also process technical errors and, when available, a ChatGPT-provided user identifier for troubleshooting and request limits.
Preview drafts expire after 24 hours; add-to-deck links and their temporary records expire after 30 minutes. Preview links can be viewed by someone who has the link, so keep them private. Expiry does not delete saved polls, images in your slides, downloaded copies or content retained by ChatGPT. OpenAI handles your conversations and files under its own privacy policy and your account settings. This integration does not send your drafts to Anthropic.
AI suggestions
The optional Get suggestions feature sends the text you enter, your poll question and existing answer options to Anthropic only when you press Suggest. It does not read your slides. Doppio does not retain these requests or generated suggestions unless you save them as poll content. Anthropic is contractually prohibited from training on them and normally deletes API inputs and outputs within 30 days, subject to its published legal and safety exceptions.
Analytics, diagnostics and local storage
Chrome extension product analytics are off until you opt in. You can turn them off in the extension's options. When enabled, analytics use an installation or account identifier, not your email address.
We use PostHog for usage analytics and limited participant session replay with form inputs masked. We do not intentionally send poll text, vote choices or Google credentials to PostHog. Participant analytics use pseudonymous device or session identifiers. Separately, automatic error reports may include technical errors and session, slide or event identifiers; these are used to diagnose faults through Sentry. Support access to specific presenter content requires your permission unless needed for security, abuse prevention or legal obligations.
Browser and extension storage keep sign-in state, preferences, session and voting information, and analytics settings. You can clear this through your browser or extension settings, although doing so may sign you out or remove saved preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Who processes your information
We use service providers only as needed to operate Doppio:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google / Firebase | Sign-in, Google Slides integration and storage of account and presentation information. |
| DigitalOcean, Vercel and Redis Cloud | Hosting and storage of service content and technical information. |
| PostHog | Usage analytics and limited participant session replay. |
| Sentry | Error reporting and troubleshooting. |
| Anthropic | Optional AI suggestions, as described above. |
Google and OpenAI also handle information independently when you use their services. We may share information with advisers or authorities when legally necessary, or during a business transfer subject to applicable privacy protections.
Our providers may process information in Australia, the United States, the European Union and other countries where they operate. Anthropic API data is stored in the United States. We use provider data-protection terms and safeguards required by applicable law for international transfers.
How long we keep information
| Information | Retention |
|---|---|
| Saved events, polls, takeaways, settings and results | Until deleted or you request deletion. Deleting a poll may leave associated results or history until the event or account is deleted. |
| ChatGPT previews and add-to-deck records | Preview drafts and the ChatGPT service's preview cache expire after 24 hours; add-to-deck records after 30 minutes. This does not delete separately saved or downloaded copies. |
| Temporary live-session information | Usually expires within 1 hour of inactivity, and within 4 hours for an active room. Saved results follow the rule above. |
| AI suggestion requests | Not retained by Doppio unless saved as poll content; normally up to 30 days at Anthropic. Abuse-prevention counters expire within about an hour. |
| Product analytics | Up to 12 months, then deleted or aggregated. |
| Application and security logs | Normally up to 90 days. |
| Support correspondence | Up to 24 months after the request closes. |
| Deletion backups | Residual copies may remain for up to 35 days. |
Device storage remains until it expires or you clear it. We may retain information longer where necessary for legal obligations, disputes or security investigations. Images inserted into Google Slides and content in ChatGPT remain subject to your controls in those services.
Your choices and rights
You can delete polls and takeaways through Doppio. For account deletion, complete event or results deletion, access, correction, export or other privacy requests, email sam@doppio.live. For a preview created without signing in, include its link; never send passwords or authentication tokens. We may verify your identity before acting. We aim to acknowledge requests within 7 days and complete verified deletion requests within 30 days, unless law permits or requires longer.
You can revoke Doppio's Google access, disconnect it from ChatGPT or uninstall the extension. This stops the relevant future access but does not automatically delete information already saved by Doppio or in your slides.
Depending on your location, you may also have rights to restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent or complain to a regulator. Withdrawing consent does not affect earlier lawful processing. Contact us first with concerns; Australian users can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, and others their local privacy authority.
Security and children
We use encryption, access controls and other safeguards to protect information, restrict staff access to legitimate needs, and notify affected users or authorities of incidents where required by law. No service can guarantee absolute security.
Children under 13 must not create presenter accounts. Schools, employers and presenters are responsible for appropriate notices and permissions for their audiences. Do not use polls to collect unnecessary sensitive information. Contact us if a child has provided information without appropriate authorisation.
Changes and contact
We update this page when our practices change. We notify installed add-on and extension users directly of changes to data handling, and provide prominent notice and obtain consent for expanded uses where required.
